Event details

This 1.5 day meeting (April 20-21) is a joint initiative of Princeton University and the Institute of Global Health Equity Research in Rwanda. Funding is being provided by Princeton’s Center for Health and Wellbeing, and Princeton’s School of Public and International Affairs, with additional support from Princeton’s Office of Population Research.

Research has tremendous potential to improve equitable health policies and outcomes in Africa. However, existing power imbalances and inequities require a shift in how research is carried out both in and for African countries. Further, there is a need to reconsider how health policies are shaped to better reflect the priority needs of the most disadvantaged populations within countries. An esteemed group of African policymakers and researchers will present their ideas for how health research and policy in Africa can be more equitable. Retired Professor and former Minister of Health for Rwanda, Dr Agnes Binagwaho, will provide the keynote address.

Space is limited so individuals interested in attending should RSVP to Ariza Francisco (arizafrancisco@princeton.edu). Attendance restricted to Princeton University affiliated faculty, staff and students.
